(Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the red palm weevil (RPW), is a concealed voracious pest of different ornamental and economically important palm species, particularly the date palm. It can cause huge losses in ornamental and commercial palm plantations. RPW has spread rapidly from its original distribution in Southeast Asia to date palm-growing countries worldwide. It is now established in more than 50% of date palm-growing countries and 15% of the coconut-growing countries globally. To prevent further expansion of this pest, many countries have implemented strict legislative and quarantine measures surrounding the export of the palms plant genetic resources from RPW-infested countries. This review focuses on the general biology (life history, development), host range, geographical distribution, and management on the basis of biotechnic methods, farming practices, natural enemies, and important microbial control agents.
椰心叶甲（鞘翅目：象甲科），红棕象甲（RPW），是一种对不同观赏棕榈和具有重要经济价值的棕榈树种，尤其是枣椰树，具有隐蔽性且食量巨大的害虫。它会给观赏棕榈和商业棕榈种植园造成巨大损失。红棕象甲已从其在东南亚的原始分布地迅速蔓延至全球种植枣椰树的国家。目前，全球超过50%的枣椰树种植国家和15%的椰子种植国家都有它的踪迹。为防止这种害虫的进一步扩散，许多国家围绕来自受红棕象甲侵害国家的棕榈植物遗传资源出口实施了严格的立法和检疫措施。本综述聚焦于其一般生物学特性（生活史、发育）、寄主范围、地理分布，以及基于生物技术方法、农事操作、天敌和重要微生物防治剂的管理措施。
